Hearing Ji Yushi ask this, although Song Qinglan didn’t know the reason for his question, he subconsciously softened his tone, “What Chief Wang?”

Chief Wang of Tiangqiong’s Jiang City Branch.
Female, fifty-three years old, gentle temperament, decisive and resolute when making decisions, and often breaks cups when angry.

Ji Yushi clearly remembered her face and her smile, including the perfume she used.
But why was Song Qinglan saying that the Chief of the Jiang City branch was someone surnamed Qi? And there was only one chief?

Ji Yushi had a bad feeling. All kinds of thoughts swirled in his mind. What went wrong? Where they still in a state of being hijacked and hadn’t truly returned? Did Tianqiong once again put an illusion into their minds, forcing them to enter a new mission? Or was there something wrong with his memory and everything was overlapping and a mess?

Ji Yushi’s expression tensed up. He turned a little paler and the look in his eyes alternated between tension and hesitation. It was Song Qinglan’s first time seeing him like this.

Song Qinglan’s heart fell slightly. He remembered Ji Yushi’s psychological assessment report.
Even people with a strong mind and strong personality would suffer from different degrees of psychological trauma after experiencing something like that. Everyone in the seventh squad more or less had some sequelae. Some they were aware of while others lurked in their subconscious minds. Fortunately, it all could be controlled and that was why they were granted a three-month vacation.

But it was different for Ji Yushi. The expert’s assessment result for him was: Perfect.
Song Qinglan was the captain so he was present during the meeting. The expert wasn’t very optimistic about the result because Ji Yushi was like a student who could recite the correct answer without much trouble. He scored high in every answer, but it wasn’t because it really was the case for him.

The two had interacted long enough to have established tacit understanding. Song Qinglan stepped forward and held Ji Yushi’s shoulder. He couldn’t help but lower his voice, “Advisor Ji, what did you think of?”

Ji Yushi’s lips were tightly pursed. He spoke with difficulty, “I want…..to clear my mind first.”
With that, he took out his medicine box from his pocket.

Taking too much medicine wasn’t good but Ji Yushi’s expression didn’t look great.
Song Qinglan immediately turned around and returned to the ward with a glass of water. Before arriving, he had already tested the temperature using the back of his hand, “It’s warm.”

Ji Yushi placed a tablet in his mouth and the received the water from Song Qinglan.
He took a sip, raised his head and the jut on his throat moved as he swallowed it in one go.

His figure was thin and slender, and his complexion was fair. At this moment, he wore a white shirt and black trousers, making him look clean and refreshing. This was also what he wore when he first arrived at Jiang City. When they first met, Song Qinglan felt that Ji Yushi was like a pine tree beside a snowy lake but now, he felt that there was a sense of undetectable fragility to him as well.

Did Ji Yushi often use drugs to keep his mind clear?
Or was it only occasionally?

There weren’t many people on this floor and very few people used this corridor.
After taking the medicine, Ji Yushi quietly closed his eyes for a few seconds. The medicine obviously wouldn’t take effect so quickly, but it was enough to make him feel better psychologically.

When he opened his eyes again, some clarity was restored in his eyes. Seeing that Song Qinglan was still standing beside him with concern, he said, “Cap Song, do you still remember the person who arranged our mission and the person who transferred me to Jiang City?”
